Advance notice of the UKSC 2008 Exchange Meeting

Saturday 8th March 2008

Ramada Hotel, Dover, Kent

Download the brochure (PDF - 288kb)


BOOKING DEADLINE NOW PASSED

The UK Sucrologists’ Club 2008 southern exchange meeting will be held in a function marquee at the Ramada Hotel on the outskirts of Dover.   We hope that this will enable collectors from across the channel to join us.
The meeting is from 10am to 3pm but participants may arrive and leave at any time during the day.

The cost is £7 for UKSC members, £10 for other collectors and £3 for accompanying partners.  There is a £0.50 surcharge for online bookings because of the PayPal fees.

Refreshments can be purchased at the Hotel’s restaurant and snack bar.  You may wish to bring your own packed lunch. 
To arrange for overnight accommodation at the hotel please contact them direct, quoting “Sugar Packet Meeting” and ask for a discount.  We understand the reduced rate is £79 for a double room, £89 for a family room.

UKSC does not endorse the buying and selling of packets.  Participants at exchange meetings set out their surplus packets on their table and are then free to wander around the other tables taking any packets they require.
Swapping is not done on a one for one basis, collectors are usually happy for other participants to take whatever they want.
Sorting packets by country and arranging them in shallow trays or boxes is generally the most helpful.

Space will be allocated to each collector with any spare table being allocated on the day to those who need extra space.
